This is intended to be a guide to get you started, and also as a reference as you go through the CSC keelboat lesson series or when geęing private instruction. The material covered in this manual will continue to build on the basics learned in dinghies, with aęention called to some of the big differences between the two. A keelboat is slower to respond, has a greater turning radius and, with a large mass, momentum will be a big factor in how the boat behaves. The fundamentals are not going to be covered here, as they are thoroughly discussed in Colgate and other basic sailing books listed at the end of this manual. The most important skills to be learned are: recognizing what the boat will be doing before it happens and planning maneuvers before executing them. Having a thorough understanding of basic sail mechanics will also be a good starting point for learning to sail keelboats.
